Triggs: The Autobiography of Roy Keane's Dog by Triggs - Large Paperback

Product Information
Roy Keane was the most controversial footballer of his generation. And the most influential. He captained Manchester United during an era in which they dominated English football. He made friends. He made enemies. He walked out of a World Cup and divided a nation. And his beloved Labrador Retriever Triggs was at his side through it all. Their walks became the stuff of 24-hour, rolling news legend. Now, in the most eagerly awaited football memoir of the decade, Triggs finally reveals the part she played in the extraordinary drama of her master's life.

From the Back Cover
Meet Triggs - TV lover, hypochondriac, noted wit, football genius and best friend to the most talked-about footballer of his generation. Whether leading Manchester United to the Treble or telling Mick McCarthy to shove the World Cup up his bollocks, Roy Keane has seldom been out of the news. For more than ten years, through good times and bad, he could always rely on his friendship with his ever faithful Labrador retriever, Triggs. Their walks became the stuff of rolling news legend. But what did they talk about on all those famous days when they took the air while being chased by a media pack? And - at the end of the day - who was really walking who?

Now, in his own words, Roy's dog Triggs tells the extraordinary story of their friendship and reveals his part in the glories and controversies that marked his master's career. From his arrival through a small ad in the South Manchester Advertiser through to Keane's final days as manager of Ipswich Town, the brilliant but neurotic Triggs was never far from his side, directing events as best he could.

Ten major trophies. A missed Champions League final. Player of the Year awards. Alf-Inge Haaland. Drunken nights. Contract negotiations. Patrick Vieira. Prawn sandwiches. The explosive end to Roy's relationships with Ireland and Manchester United. Triggs was witness to it all - and a far from silent one. Funny, frank and never less than one hundred and ten per cent mean-spirited, Triggs tells the truth about what it was like to be a central player in the extraordinary drama of his master's life.
